An hours drive away from the outskirts of Maasin City will take you through a route banked with thick trees on both sides and an eagles eye view of the municipality. Further ahead is a quarry site but what will delight visitors most is a haven for animals in the wild, the Maasin Zoo.
Located at Malapoc Norte, the Zoo is now a tourist go-to of the region as it slowly makes its mark as one of the country's premier ecotourism destination.

They do have a lot of collection of animals here. Is the Maasin here the one located in Leyte. I was able to visit Maasin, Leyte before.
ReplyDeleteHi Franc Ramon. Yes this is a Zoo in Maasin,Leyte. It is relatively new. It opened last April 2012.
DeleteI actually went there when it was still developing. I lived in Maasin for 4 years before moving back to Tacloban. It makes me feel nostalgic :)
ReplyDeletewas that last year? did they have the same number of animals then? i hope this zoo thrives. it's far from the city.
ReplyDeletewill definitely visit this place! thanks for sharing your trip with us! :))
